Time: 5:30 – 7:30
Location: Mall - Fear Festival
Watching as the man left, Ezekiel could help but let his eyes follow until he was out of sight. Sucking in a breath, he let out a little curse as he exhaled, gathering himself and getting to his feet. Kell was a flirt naturally, but he couldn’t help and feel a little interested in the other man. Chuckling to himself, he made his way into the mall. He needed a new outfit for the festival. At least that’s what he told himself, it was more of an excuse to buy new clothing. Taking a drink of his coffee, he picked at the cookie as he browsed around the mall. A Spirit Store was open, many teenagers running into the store. Halloween was a fond holiday of his. He remembered the nights when he would go out trick-or-treating with his mum. Dressed up as his favorite villain or monster. Ironically, he always wanted to be a vampire. Walking into the store, he let his eyes wander. Nostalgia hit him like a wave and he sighed softly. So many college parties with women dressed in skimpy little costumes.
Stepping on the button of one of the outside displays, Kell watched as a dead woman lurched forward towards him, screaming and scaring a few children near him. He smirked, turning away and browsing the costumes. Scoffing at the vampire costume, Ezekiel ran his tongue over his incisors, grimacing slightly at the sting as they cut at the skin. Shaking his head, he left the store and went in search for a decent clothing store. The mall didn’t have much, being from such a small town but Kell was determined to find something for the occasion. It didn’t need to be high-end fashion, after all.
Paying for the clothes, he left the mall and drove to his apartment. He didn’t plan on staying too long, hopping into the shower to freshen up. It took a moment for the water to heat up, but he paid it no mind, letting shampoo lather in his fair hair. Humming to a tune, he took his time bathing himself before turning off the water and stepping out. Grabbing his phone, he quickly read his messages. Just a text from his last fling, asking if he planned on being at the festival. He left her on read, putting down the device and getting ready. It took a while for his hair to listen to him, but once he was ready, he grinned brightly and grabbed his belongings before locking the apartment door behind him.

The festival was already getting into gear as he arrived, the line for a ticket too long. He sighed, waiting impatiently as it slowly inched forward. A good ten minutes in the line and it was finally his turn to pay for his tickets. Instead, he simply bought the wristband. Taking it and leaving before the man could give him his change. Slipping the brightly colored band around his wrist, Kell decided to send his friend a quick text.
You here? Place is getting pretty crowded. Lemme know when you're here.
Sighing softly, he wandered around the fairgrounds for a bit, watching as a couple played one of those rigged games. Surprisingly, the man won something, giving the bright pink plushy to the girl. Clicking his tongue against teeth, he turned away. He felt like he was prying, running a hand through his hair and mussing it up.
